A review by cupitonians
Double Cross by Malorie Blackman

adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

 Although a different view of the life in this noughts and crosses universe, I was exhausted reading about yet another unhinged/unlikeable man pitched as the "hero" of the story. I didn't like the way the women are portrayed, and the mindless violence they have to face. I can only hope that the rest of the series corrects this mistake.
